'Chateau des ducs de Bretagne' (castle of the dukes of Brittany)

Today i went on another school excursion to the Chateau des ducs de Bretagne. It is an amazing castle, its the third time ive been there since ive been here, but i hadn't actually had a good look around, and gotten to know all the history until today. also a few blogs ago i wrote abought the light spectac that was inside the castle, well i remembered to bring my camera today, and took a photo of the castle, and also the wall where the light spectac was.
So here is a bit of history about the Castle:
Francis II, the last duke of brittany, Began constructing this building in the late 15th century. the work was continued by his daughter,  Anne of Brittany, Duchess and twice queen of france. The castle, is a fortress with a residential palace within it. Later a royal castle and the residence of Brittany's governors fron the 16th century, over the centurys the building has been used as a prison, barracks and arsenal. it is now home to the Nantes History Museum.

 sorry, i still havnt figured out how to rotate the picture! the tower on the far right, is called the 'tour de la Couronne d'or' (the golden crown tower). (this is one of the walls that were used for the light spectac)

 this in not a very good photo, but it is from the outside, with the beautiful green grass and the moat. in the moat there are actually heaps of fish (decent sized fish too). the tower to the left is called Jacobins' tower; and the tower on the right it called the Port tower. if you can see on the far right, where all the trees are. the Loire river used to run along there (well, i think, thats what i understood from the teacher). now the loire is a few km, i guess, away from there.

this is looking across the courtyard. on the far left on the ground you can see a well.

(on the wall on the left is also where the light spectac was)
